Options | Description |
---|---|
Select Reference Paper | Select the type of paper that is closest to
the paper you are using:
Thinnest Thin Thick Thickest Adhesive |
Platen Gap | Select 1.6 for most media. Select 1.2 if head alignment does not completely align the print head. Select 2.0 or 2.5 if printouts are smeared. |
Head Alignment | Select when print results are grainy or out of
focus:
Manual(Uni-D): when printing in one direction. Manual(Bi-D): when printing in both directions. If head alignment with this setting does not correct the problem, select Manual(Uni-D). |
Paper Feed Adjust | Use this setting if you are unable to resolve
banding issues even after head cleaning and alignment. Select one
of the following:
Pattern: prints an adjustment pattern that you can measure and then enter the measured distance. Value: lets you choose an adjustment between –0.70 and +0.70%. Select a higher value to reduce dark bands, or a lower value to reduce white bands. |
Paper Suction | Set from –4 to 0 to increase the gap between the print head and thin or soft paper. If print quality is reduced or media does not feed correctly, you may need to lower the suction. |
Feeding Tension | Set from Lv1 to Lv5. Increase the value if creases appear in media during printing. |
Take-up Tension (if the take-up reel is installed) | Set from Lv1 to Lv4. Decrease the value if creases appear in media during printing or ink adheres to the back of the take-up roll. Increase the value if there is too much slack in the media or thick media cannot be wound correctly. |
Prevent Sticking | Select On only if the media sticks to the platen when the product is turned on or when printing starts. Select Off for normal printing. |
Setting Name | Enter a name up to 22 characters for the custom paper settings. |
Restore Settings | Select Yes to return all settings for the selected custom paper to their default values. |
